Q: I have a friend who is looking for frozen artichoke hearts. Could you let me know where to find them? Thank you. — Joan Cruz, email
A: Joan, your friend’s request is easy to fill because all Trader Joe’s usually carry frozen artichoke hearts for $3.29 per 12-ounce bag. These come cut into quarters and are terrific time-savers when a recipe calls for artichoke hearts. I keep some in my freezer at all times, and they make perfect last-minute appetizers in the air fryer. They’re quite versatile and super handy. You can find them in the frozen foods case with the vegetables. I found them at Trader Joe’s, 6277 Roswell Road NE, Sandy Springs, 404-236-2414.
Q: I’ve looked everywhere I can think of to find Apricot Honey and Lavender Infusion tea bags by Fortnum & Mason. They’re a gift for a friend, and I would really like to find them somewhere in Atlanta, but if I have to order them as a last resort, I will. Help, please. — Dot Rodriguez, email

Q: This request is not for a product, but for a service. I am a senior living in Decatur. I have called two podiatrists, and neither treats ingrown toenails. Do you know of anywhere this service is available? — Betty Meers, email
A: Betty, I search for all types of products and services, so your request is not out of the ordinary. Ankle and Foot Centers of Georgia, 215 Clairemont Ave., Decatur, 404-508-4026, has dozens of offices throughout Georgia and offers myriad services ranging from ankle fractures and heel pain to sports injuries and reconstructive foot surgery. I spoke with someone at the Decatur office, and they assured me that their services include ingrown toenails. Give them a call, and they should be able to help you.
